Yuck. Buzzfeed is good for slideshows and clickbait, typically. I don't know anyone who is a fan of BF.

Ruby, you are doing well at separating the chaff from the wheat. The more you participate here, the more I enjoy interacting with you. That sounds patronizing but I don't mean to come across that way. I am glad you are comfortable posting in Hangout, that's all. I think you have a lot of valid points whether I agree with you or not. I'm also pretty certain that if we met in real life we'd have some good discussions as well as good laughs. If you don't feel the same, I understand, but I have seen you post some very compassionate things and that gave me pause because I think I painted you into a corner of my mind entitled "probably not your friend." I wish you well, always.

That was a very kind post to Ruby, Monarch!


And I do mean that in the truest form of sincerity!

Thanks, Jenn. I really do like coming here to read EVERYONE'S point of view, whether it shakes my tree or not. (Is that even an expression?) There is and always has been (imo) so much wisdom here.

Also appreciate the olive branch to Ruby, who often endures a great deal here in order to stand up for her beliefs.

That's actually hilarious haha. I love it when they get caught trying to be sneaky.

I love buzzfeed though. How else are you going to find out what the Disney princesses look like as toasters?

Or find out how old you are/the last time you had sex based on some extremely random questions about food?? Also they are my go-to for lists of adorable dogs, and typically boost my mood. Like this gem: https://www.buzzfeed.com/andyneuenschwander/17-dogs-who-are-very-very-good-dogs?utm_term=.oc5VN1vrwA#.rljW7lyQjr

But yeah, they aren't exactly known for their hardcore journalism skills.

Buzzfeed isn't news. It's good for finding out what happens when people get Botox or try eyebrow tattoos, or what celebrities look like with Steve Buscemi eyes!

Monarch, thank you very much for your kind words. I do appreciate them.

I trust Buzzfeed as much as I trust the Daily Caller. Nada. Zilch. Zero.

both are extreme sites full of 1/2 truths.

But, if it's on the Internet then it must be true!

I echo this. I used to think you were a far right nutjob.. but you show compassion and a true willingness to reach out.. rare indeed on either side..

Thank you, Tekate, for your kind words as well.

I have learned a great deal from the posters on this board.
